Great one, Roger!
Single shot?

Nice! (Isn't it something, the way we all get so excited about colored minerals? If hauyne were just colorless... "just another tiny silicate mineral".)

A wonderful picture of that German miniature gem :-)

Hi,
Thank you for your comments.
This is the result of an integral of 22 shots ... Impossible otherwise.
I believe the German collectors prefer haüyne than diamond. It is also more expensive, I think. Can be found in the career of blue chips of haüyne but good samples are very rare and depend on the progress in the quarry. It was so small it was almost invisible. This was my chance!
Roger.
